I'm offering
My past role as a senior technical support manager for a large Superfast Broadband network provider , has equipped me with a unique set of broad ranging and scarce skills, which I am confident would be a good fit, within any team you are resourcing,(and leading) to service any new won contracts ,or bids you are in process of issuing.
I have recent and current experience within the FTTP deployment domain, which after 38 years of working in telecoms has been a very interesting and illuminating experience, to say the least.
As aforementioned within my 38 years in telecoms, my career spectrum has consisted of cable jointers mate to senior technical manager, with cable gang, cable chamber building, cable jointer/splicer, network design and planning and optical system management to name a few roles in between. Most of which I am confident I could still do!
